Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Martin Scorsese's energetic, visually rich biopic of billionaire industrialist Howard Hughes shrewdly eschews the strange, cloistered existence of the enigma's last quarter century to focus on his exploits as reckless heir, Hollywood playboy and record-setting aviator. The film's pop 'n' jazz oriented song-score colours its era and locales, but this rich, Golden Globe-nominated orchestral soundtrack by veteran Howard Shore explores the complex emotional landscape of its central character. Utilizing an orchestral palate that initially wends from the bright, neo-baroque promise of "Icarus" to the foreshadowing bombast of "Hollywood 1927" before turning ever more angular, modern and brooding, Shore's music increasingly gets beneath the skin of Hughes the man. It's a masterful symphonic portrait of an enfant terrible fighting a losing battle with his own demons, even as he's conquering every realm he chooses. --Jerry McCulley

5.0 out of 5 stars A new classic, 25 April 2009

By	Enoch Sneed "Enoch Sneed" (Lisbon, Portugal) - See all my reviews

In the days when so many "soundtracks" are just compilations of pop tunes it is a relief to find an orchestral soundtrack that harks back to the glory days of composers such as Bernard Herrmann. Howard Shore's music for "The Aviator" is as good as *that*. It contains broad sweeps of excitement ("H-1 Racer Plane") and sinister, disturbing pieces ("Quarantine") reflecting Hughes's mental deterioration. The first track ("Icarus") has the qualities of a Bach fugue.

Highly recommended - and if you prefer the other type of soundtrack there is the "Music from The Aviator" album where you can hear the contemporary music of the 1920's, etc.
